Night of Lights “Flip the Switch”
Night of Lights is a distinctive evening event that brings thousands to Chestnut Hill to experience Chestnut Hill Conservancy’s innovative public art streetscape exhibition. Night of Lights reflects Chestnut Hill, the business corridor, and one of America’s iconic main streets, Germantown Avenue.
Join us in 2023 as Chestnut Hill’s familiar commercial corridor transforms into a local history and Archive evening exhibition. Beginning as we “Flip the Switch” on Friday, October 6, at 6:45 PM, enjoy an interactive night filled with activities and celebrations as many stores and restaurants stay open late.
The celebrations continue until 9:00 PM as historical images and films project from the Conservancy’s Archives through storefront windows and onto exterior walls.
At the same time, neighboring historic buildings along the Avenue are illuminated with theatrical lights. Night of Lights is more than an architecture and Archives evening exhibition; it is a celebration of Chestnut Hill’s rich heritage, the vibrant spirit of its residents, and the thriving business community that contributes to its undeniable charm.
